|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECE5546 | Data Compression Theory | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Electrical and Computer Engineering | - | No |
| This class introduces fundamental theories and practical algorithms necessary to understand various lossless data compression techniques widely used for digital data such as audio, video, and text. It makes students have real experiences of dealing with such techniques by programming exercises. This class starts with introducing information theory and signal processing theory which lay basic foundation for lossless compression. Followed are the Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, and their many derivatives. Next topics are the dictionary-based compression methods such as LZW and the predictive coding method. The later part of the class is dedicated to analysis and hands-on programming exercises of practical lossless techniques found in the most recent JPEG and MPEG standards and recent relevant technical papers. | |||||||||
